TO ANGLICAN AUDIENCE

THE MOST REVEREND ARCHBISHOP ERIS M. CANBERRA. O'BRIEN OF CANBERRA-GOULB URN TOLD A PREDOMINANTLY ANGLICAN AUDIENCE HERE THAT THE FORTHCOMING SECOND VATICAN COUNCIL WILL SPELL OUT THE PLACE OF THE BISHOPS IN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH. He spoke out on the council in a precedent - breaking address to an on interfaith audience at the
Anglican St. Mark's Memorial Library in the capitol. The Catholic prelate re called that the agenda for the First Vatican Council, held in Rome in 1869-70, called for the definiti3n of papal infallibility and aiso complementary items concerning the role and responsibility of the bishops in the government of the Church. But he said the fall of Rome by Piedmontese troops broke up the council before the question of the bishops' place could be considered. Thus at the council opening next October 11, he said, "a significant section" will be devoted "to defining the effective role and responsibility of the Bishops, acting in concert with the Pops, as chief Bishop, within the general pattern of the government of the Church." Archbishop O'Brien went on to say: "This council has been convoked explicitly for the spiritual efficiency of the.
Church-not directly for the
-reunion of the Christian Churches. "Viewed fundamentally, I suppose that is a gesture. of good manners. It is also a recognition by the Catholic Church of the good faith, the virtue and the sincerity that is in those churches. "Already suggestions for the agenda of that council have been called from every Catholic bishop, including the Australian Hierarchy. It can be presumed that, in accord with varying national characteristics and problems, those suggestions will differ, if not in substance, at least in associated Church

It is easy to imagine the varying nature of the suggestions for the agenda, he said. The Australians are ' insistent on contacts with the people; favourable to liturgical reform; loyal to the core; but conscious of the degree of maturity they have reached.

"It is not an absolutely new phenomenon-the scope of the World Council of Churches has progressively widened those horizons. The Catholic Church has followed its deliberations appre-

The final issue of the Catholic Times carried the conclusion of its publishers that in a day of rising costs and threats from television, there was no longer room in Britain for three Catholic papers with overlapping news and promotional facilities.

the Catholic Missionary Society in 1926. It returned to
private ownership in 1935.
The Universe was founded in 1860, under the inspiration of Cardinal Wiseman. Its printer, Denis Lane, almost singlestruggled handedly to keep it going. At his death in 1903 its ownership passed to his grand -nephew. By 1917 it seemed to be facing liquidation, but new features instituted by a new owner, Martin Melvin, gave it renewed life. Contributors during this period included G. K. Chesterton, Hilaire
Belloc, Father Martindale and Monsignor Knox. The Universe's greatest circulation growth has occurred since World War II. The British press generally has been in a fight for survival, against rising costs and dwindling advertising. In 1961 two major dailies disappeared, one a great national newspaper with ,
circulation, the other London's largest evening paper with a circulation of 800,000. Dozens of smaller weeklies and monthlies also failed hitt year. 1,250,000

POPE JOHN APPEALS TO STOP SLAUGHTER
HIS HOLINESS POPE JOHN XXIII HAS AGAIN APPEALED FOR AN END TO THE SLAUGHTER IN ALGERIA. "LET THE RULE OF LAW PREVAIL IN MUTUAL CHARITY," HE SAID. He voiced his "profound sorrow" over the strife in Algeria, especially "at the sight of the blood which drenches the earth.- The Pope was speaking in .11 Peter's at a special audience for.members of the International Association of Airspace Material Manufacturers and of the European Industrial Space Studies Group. Citing the commandment "Thou shalt not kill," Pope John declared: "It is a definite command given by the Author of Life, established for the protection and the defence of a right which is the same for all, the transgression of which brings fatal consequences and harmful repercussions to the framework of international relations. "Oh, the Mediterranean shores of Africa! A land which work and concord could and still, can, quicken with life for the benefit Of -peoples and for the triumph of justice. May the day of
peace soon dawn for all those regions-peace which is the desired and universally acclaimed brotherhood, peace which means prosperity for all families. "We renew as on other occasions Our heartfelt appeal: Let no otfe arrogate to himself the right of destroying human lives. May there instead be seen in every man the image of God the
C re ato r, the heavenly Father of us ail, and may
each clasp the hands of his brothers in Christ the Redeemer." Then the Pope reiterated and elaborated on the commandment he had cited initially: "Do not kill-neither by the sword nor by word or printed matter, nor by assent nor by nationalisth, exasperations!" Pope John said that the duty of man is to work out the peaceful evolution of each peoples respecting other's rights. "We hope, therefore," he said, "that men of different origins, but respecting one another, may
offer the world a display of loyal collaboration, of recip-
rocal integration of their energies and interests, all of them seeking together the common good and the betterment of peoples." The Pope concluded by saying that when hindrances and violence have been ended, "Let the rule of law prevail in mutual charity, and may the authors and builders of peace in the blood drenched land of Africa be blessed." SWITZERLAND'S national Catholic charities organisation, Caritas, has come to the aid of Algeria's hunger -ridden cities. Caritas gave £ 10,350 to Catholic authorities in Algiers and Oran to relieve hunger and care for the injured. Violence between Moslems and Europ:ans those cities had closed down business and prompted residents of various quarters to barricade themselv6s off alum racial lines. This meant that food was very dtflleult to obtain. 4111.
